Which updates are worth mentioning?

[nRomaleos]

I was thinking about submitting updates to schools regarding:

1. Grants I was awarded post-secondary submission
2. Confirming that things I said I would continue to do are still being done (ie. I am still volunteering at X, I am still working Y, and this project Z was successful)

Thoughts?

1. Only if the school loves pre-interview updates.
2. No

Can I piggyback off this thread? I was complete at most of my schools by late July and haven't heard from 75% of them, since that point I've:
- Had a poster presentation at an international conference (Cambridge, UK)
- Oral presentation at an NIH meeting in San Diego
- Have been trained to give "working" tours at my university's COM simulation lab (using the human mannequin, suturing lessons, intubation lessons, IV's)
- Joined the Speaker's Bureau at my local Planned Parenthood and give sex ed talks to different groups around my community

How would sending an update letter mentioning these new activities be looked at? Of course, I'd only send updates to schools that accept them. Thanks in advance for your advice.
